Fans roast EA Sports' 'laughable' Colorado ranking in 'College Football 25'
EA Sports has released several rankings for its College Football 25 this week, teasing the July 19 release date for the much-awaited new game. When the company dropped the latest Power Rankings Friday, fans argued on social media about this team or that team’s relative ranking.
Yet fans universally seemed to agree on one ranking: Colorado is not the No. 16 team in the country.
Recall the Buffaloes started 3-0 last season under new coach Deion Sanders, and some fans had illusions of a College Football Playoff spot. But reality set in, and the Buffs dropped eight of nine to finish the season.
That is not what anyone looks for in a potential top 20 program. The popular College Sports Only X account noted, “EA Sports really ranked Colorado the 16th best team in “College Football 25″ after going 4-8 last season & losing 8 of their last 9 games.”

EA Sports has shared details about how it wants to make the game as realistic as possible, even having CFB 25 announcers such as Chris Fowler call every conceivable scenario that might happen in game play. Fans have pointed out some slight errors in the game thus far. For example, the Texas State stadium was rendered in the game without an upper deck.
But even with Sanders coming in and energizing Colorado’s football program, rating the Buffaloes 16th is a huge stretch. And fans had plenty to say on social media.

I’m convinced the person in charge of ratings is a 17 year old hype beast https://t.co/YnHC3dk5uN

One of their developers must be Rocky Mountain high if they think Colorado is that good.

EA sports ranked Colorado at number 16 in college football 25! This is laughable! This makes no sense! Finished the season four and eight! But they’re the 16th best team in the country. OK!

Denver Art Museum workers ratify first union contract for Colorado museum employees
Denver Art Museum Workers United ratified a historic bargaining agreement on Saturday, becoming the first museum workers in the State of Colorado to have a union contract.
The contract is the result of nearly two years of negotiations between the union’s bargaining committee and museum management.
Pam Skiles, Senior Paintings Conservator, said, “It feels great to ratify our first contract and improve working conditions for our coworkers across the museum. We will only continue to build on these wins into the future.”
The union says the new three-year contract includes agreements on equitable pay, just cause rights, increased sick time, and updated policies on health and safety and parental leave.
The American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, AFL-CIO, says this contract “sets the stage for further cultural organizing in the state.”
AFL-CIO said, “Now that DAMWU has a ratified agreement, the workers of the art museum join Jefferson County Public Library, as well as the more than 50,000 other cultural workers across the country who are building a national movement to raise employment standards in the cultural sector through AFSCME’s Cultural Workers United.”
